Hey fellas, I have a Savage 110 in 308 Win with a very light barrel. What would be the best factory round for deer? I'm looking at a 70yd shot max from my stand, but the possibility is there for a 200 to 280yd too and from the stand. I'm thinking anything in 165gr should do.
 
"...thinking anything in 165gr should do..." Yep. However, you'll have to try a box of as many brands as you can to find the ammo your rifle shoots best. A 150 will do nicely for deer as well. Felt recoil will be a bit less.
